~~**October Checkin**~~

drvst8

Good morning ladies. I finally got my hands free to post the check in this week. Its only the 10th so that means there are still plenty of babies to come yet. I just wanted to say congrats again to the new moms from the last week.

For those who already had their LO I will try and update the list this week with all the new babies so if you want to be included give the name and info on your new baby.

How are you feeling?

Any appts or updates?

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now?

How are you feeling? Incredibly anxious and just want her to be here soon! It's probably good all the way around for her to wait another couple of weeks. Still have lots to do getting the other little ones ready before she gets here.
Any appts or updates? 38wk appt on Friday. Hoping I progressed a bit more from 2cm and 50 effaced.
Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now? Last night only about three but that is due to my two year old being sick. Normally 6/7 which I can't complain about at this point!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats to all the October mamas! Still waiting to see pics of some of those babies! 

How are you feeling? You hit the nail on the head with uncomfortable, and I am starting to feel like I am going to be pregnant forever.

Any appts or updates? Appointments are every Monday right now, my appointment Monday went well I was 1.5cm dilated and 50% effaced. She offered to strip my membranes, but I declined. Having lots of contractions, but none with a steady pattern.

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now? I seem to be sleeping okay, but every time I have to move I wake up because it is like a workout just rolling over. Total I probably get about 6 hours of sleep when you minus the time I spend awake moving around and going to the bathroom.

How are you feeling? Like this baby never wants to come out! Feeling okay considering I'm this far along. Today I've felt more pelvic pressure...really hoping that is a sign. Starting to get really emotional about just being over it and ready to be done.

Any appts or updates? Had an appt yesterday. 3cm dilated and 50% effaced with baby at -1....which I know means nothing but at least it's some kind of progress.

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now?  With the frequent bathroom trips and the torture of switching sides (and feeling like my pelvic bone is cracking in half), probably between 6 and 7

How are you feeling? Tired of being pregnant! Don't get me wrong. I'm so glad to have my LO still doing well but I'm ready for her to be here already. 

Any appts or updates? I had my 39w today. They stripped my membranes. I'm hoping  don't make it to my next appointment which is 10/18. My MW doesn't think I will.

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now? Considering I've been contracting since Friday night I've been getting anywhere from 1-5 hours of sleep at a time. I guess it's good practice.

Feeling: not great I am super moody, I mean I was moody before But I call my husband to say sorry for yelling at him and end up yelling at him more for the same issue. I hurt every time baby moves and I hate having random contactions that keep me from going anywhere because I'm afraid of going into labor when I am out alone with my 2.5 year old.

Update: still pregnant and despite all my complains I am not ready for baby yet he needs to stay put until the 20th at least so we can get into our new house and get a everything settled. We move in on the 16th. We are cutting it really close. Appointment on Friday.

GTKY: What is sleep.....3 to 4 hours tops plus the 1 hour nap I get during the day so 4 to 5 hours every day. I so sleepy.

How are you feeling? Like a whale... I had a rough weekend, horrible headache and BP is up and down.. Didn't help my husband had a poker game at our house on sunday that went to 4am.. Though i cannot be mad bc that might have been the last of those nights for hime

Any appts or updates? Had a NST yesterday and to doctor was worried about the babies hr bc it dropped for 7 sec so i need to repeat it tomorrow.  Went to the my doctor that afternoon and my bp was up (thank goodness bc it was totally normal during the test and wanted to show it wasn't in my head.  She called to set up an induction for next thursday as this is 4 days before my due date and she thinks enough is enough.  She increased my meds (making me feel horrible this morning).. though anything can happen between now and the 18th.. though at least we have an eviction date

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now?  Sometimes 3-4 hours... though yesterday i didn't nap and i got about 6 hours.. FANTASTIC!!!

How are you feeling?  Better than expected.  People are constantly surprised at how well I am doing.  It gets tough, but I am overall good and certainly not going to complain.  I will however thank DH for all of his support and regular chiropractic adjustments for keeping me moving.

Any appts or updates? First internal yesterday, 1/2cm dilated and starting to efface.  Not what I wanted to hear, but cervix is in a favorable position and lots of fluid around baby, so that's good.

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now?  6-7 I'd say for 8 1/2 hours in bed.  I've always gotten up a lot during the night, my whole life, only now I find that I am wide awake when I get up during the night.  Thankfully I am sleeping more soundly in between.  Prepping for baby I guess.

How are you feeling?  Ughhh - tired, bloated, huge & sore!  I am ready for this little guy to make his debut!  And emotional - so emotional.  

Any appts or updates? Had an appt yesterday, all looks good.  Baby is comfy in there.  I was 2-3 cm last week, but didn't have doc check me again.  Doesn't matter, he will come when he's ready.  He's head down but sunny side up, so I have to try to get him to flip.  Due date in ONE WEEK (cue freak out) so I am ready!!!! 

GTKY:Its getting closer and I know everyone is very uncomfortable so...How many hours are you sleeping at night right now?  Well, I go to bed early (between 10-11) and I'm usually up at least twice to pee.  DD likes to wake up at least once a night and calls out for me.  So either she ends up in my bed or I end up in hers.  Which means I get beat up - so....  I probably get 6-7 hours a night, but it's chopped up into a few hours at a time.  I'll be wishing I had that when I'm up every 1-2 hours nursing DS
